special groups for spouses, women, adult children of alcoholics, and children (ages
12 and up). For a listing of community resources to help you cope with alcohol and

A network of services is available throughout New York State to help those persons
with problems stemming from the use or abuse of drugs. The New York State Division

concerned about substance abuse problems in their communities are invited to call,
toll free (1-800-522-5353), for information, confidential referrals and assistance,
without fear of being investigated.
